		The Enigma was used commercially from the early 1920s on, and was also adopted by the military and governmental services of a number of nations — most famously by Nazi Germany before and during World War II (WWII).
		Although the Enigma cipher has cryptographic weaknesses, it was, in practice, only their combination with other significant factors which allowed codebreakers to read messages: mistakes by operators, procedural flaws, and the occasional captured machine or codebook.
		In early Enigma models, the alphabet ring is fixed; a complication introduced in later versions is the facility to adjust the alphabet ring relative to the core wiring.

	Filmtracks: Enigma (John Barry)
		Enigma: (John Barry) The film Enigma is an international endeavor that originally gained its momentum in the film festival scene of 2001.
		After debuting at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2001 and making a showing at the Hamptons International Film Festival in October of 2001, the film finally opened in a regular, though still limited, showing across theatres of the U.S. in April of 2002.
		It had been seen in theatres in the U.K. since September of 2001, and the film's staggering release date in nearly every nation has caused the album of John Barry's music for the film to be a frustratingly delayed product for the six months prior to its final street date.

	Film review: Enigma
		ENIGMA (2001, directed by Michael Apted, screenplay by Tom Stoppard, based on the novel by Robert Harris).
		The central historical episode of the film, the losing and regaining of U-boat Enigma breaking at a critical point, is as fair as any documentary reconstruction, and the makers of the film have taken care with details of the U-boat messages.
		There are passages in the film where the radicalism of the scientific revolution is made clear enough: the resentment at the 'swots' suddenly being 'stars,' the amused contempt of the codebreakers for irrelevant brass-hat pep-talks.

	Enigma (2001) \| Reviews \| Guardian Unlimited Film
		The story of the Enigma decoding is thrilling enough and more than capable of holding the attention of an intelligent audience without all the fripperie heaped on it here.
		Yes, the film's pace is not as rapid as many people are now used to, and the complex plot requires a fair bit of 'join the dots' exosition from Stoppard, and concentration from the audience.
		The critics have praised this film as intelligent, but it's worth quoting Hitchcock's maxim on the virtue of simplicity: "A confused audience isn't emoting." In other words, it's hard to feel involved when key concepts aren't easily assimilated in the time it takes for the film-maker to put them across.

	DVD Review - Enigma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Enigma was the Allied codename for the encryption scheme used by the Germans during World War Two.
		Whereas the novel went to great lengths to explain the intricacies of Enigma and codebreaking in general, the film at best glosses over many of the finer details and seems determined to be more of a love story than a thriller.
		For a film that touches upon such an important yet almost completely overlooked facet of World War Two, the lack of any bonus features that might help explain both the film and the history behind it is shocking.

		The scarf that Tom wears throughout the film is a King's College Cambridge scarf, which is the college Tom is a fellow of in the book.
		It's so nice to go to these cinema factories and be treated with a good film, rather than the tripe which always comes out of Hollywood.
		Enigma is a quirky, happy go lucky film about codebreakers during the war, with a bit of espionage and a bit of romance, in just the right proportions.

	Warwick Student Cinema - Film Information: Enigma(2001)

		It is a refreshing change to see a film which does not glamorise the war.
		Enigma manages to avoid large coincidences or other convoluted ways of moving the plot along.

	Enigma (2001): Dougray Scott, Kate Winslet, Jeremy Northam - PopMatters Film Review
		But Apted is an honest man. In his director's commentary for the DVD release of his film Enigma (2001), he lays out the realities of the movie business, at least as they apply to his journeyman's career.
		The film rights were originally purchased by the odd-duck pairing of Mick Jagger and Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels (Jagger, apparently, is a World War II memorabilia buff, an image that should remind everyone that the era and ethos of Gimme Shelter are 2000 Light Years from now).
		In reality, an Enigma was smuggled out of pre-invasion Poland and cracked by British technicians in one of the most massive and secret undertakings of the War.

	Enigma by John Barry @ Cinemusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		As a die-hard film music fan, criticizing John Barry is a lot like criticizing the card your grandparents enclose a $100 bill in, that they've sent you for your birthday.
		ENIGMA isn't going to shake the foundations of original film music, but it's impossible to fault anything that a living legend like John Barry writes.
		ENIGMA as a stand-alone listen is quite good, but when compared to his previous work, it loses a bit of it's lustre - not because it's poorly written, boring or plodding (it's not) -- but because it lacks the unique character to seperate it from many of those prior efforts.

	BUFS Reviews: Enigma
		Enigma is a true spy thriller in the real sense of the words, unlike many modern day war dramas which are full of guns and explosions and drastic twists of history blending into an unforgettable blur.
		Enigma is an accurate account explaining one of the most significant achievements of the British war effort.
		Enigma is rather under-rated, perhaps because it is unlike the majority of war films currently doing the rounds.

	OFFOFFOFF film review ENIGMA movie by Michael Apted with Corin Redgrave, Tom Hollander, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Dougray ...
		"Enigma" doesn't succumb to the schmaltzy reflexes of historical romances in smartly dramatizing the breaking of the Germans' Enigma code — and don't miss the score by one on England's most accomplished film composers.
		The films open very similarly, in fact — a crane shot of a bustling London street, the putt-putt-putt of a double-decker bus as it pulls away from the curb, a man noticing a woman amid the hustle and the bustle and the pigeons taking flight.
		But soon thereafter the two films diverge — "Hanover Street" quickly deteriorated into cornball melodrama, with dialogue of the "tell her I died a brave man" kind whereas "Enigma" smartly substitutes history for histrionics, emerging as a solid war-torn drama that successfully mixes action with intrigue and romance.

		British Intelligence got ahold of one and used it as the basis of their code-breaking operations, but as the film opens, the Germans have switched gears.

		She's shown a lot of daring with her post-Titanic career, and Enigma marks another strong entry in her repertoire.

	enigma
		The already complicated film is made doubly confusing because of its romantic espionage enigma built into the story that takes away time from the telling of the Nazis' "Shark Enigma machine," from whence the film got its title.
		That film presented a fictionalized account of how the Enigma decryption device was captured (with Americans taking the place of the British).
		The factual part of Enigma states it was the British who secured the Enigma (which is probably true), though the Poles still claim they were the ones.

	Enigma (2001): Dougray Scott, Kate Winslet, Jeremy Northam - PopMatters Film Review
		On some level, Enigma, scripted by Tom Stoppard and based on a novel by Robert Harris, is less about the war, then, than it is about the tensions and suspicions that war breeds at home.
		This means that Enigma dallies with their imminent romance, which, while not especially surprising, is sometimes appealingly awkward, and Winslet is, as ever, undauntable.
		But while Tom spends much of the film being depressed, obsessive, and annoyingly schoolboyish, Hester never quite gives in to his lack of spunk, eventually rousing him to some semblance of action.

		Enigma is a classic British war film about the code breaking cryptanalysts at Bletchley Park.
		No longer able to detect where the enemies deadly U-boats are the war itself is once again in the balance, and the code breakers have just four days to get their way back into shark, the new unreadable code.
		However Enigma is well worth going to see, and remains a great story about British wartime achievements, spiced up with old fashioned car chases.

	BBC - Films - review - Enigma
		Based on the bestselling novel by Robert Harris, "Enigma" is a superior period drama that pays tribute to the heroic cryptanalysts of Bletchley Park.
		One involves Claire's sudden disappearance, the other is a race to crack the Germans' Enigma code before their subs make mincemeat of an Allied convoy crossing the Atlantic.
		What can't be added to that list is the film's hurried and implausible conclusion, which whisks the viewer away from Bletchley to facilitate an unlikely action-packed climax.

		Enigma looks great, has solid acting and a neat premise.
		'Enigma' is the kind of engaging historical drama that Hollywood appears to have given up on in favor of sentimental war movies in the vein of 'We Were Soldiers.'
		Enigma is anything but enigmatic about affairs of the heart, and is well worth seeing for its elective affinities alone.

	The Movie Chicks - Interview - Michael Apted (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Half of the film is accurate; half of it is entirely fictional.
		It was a very tight budget on 'Enigma' for what we had to do - we had to do the period, we had to build all these machines, we had to try to be convincing with the U-boats and the convoy - it was pretty tight stuff.
		In fact, we had a lot of trouble with the end of the film because that stuff blowing up the U-boat at the end was a much bigger sequence and we couldn't figure out what was wrong with the film when we finished it and were previewing it.

	SoundtrackNet : Enigma Soundtrack
		If you can listen to more than a few bars of Enigma and not recognize it beyond all reasonable doubt as a John Barry score, then no film music aficionado are you! Few composers have as distinctive a style as Barry.
		Enigma is scored in the classic Barry style - very sparse thematic material given to very broad orchestrations.
		There are three themes in Enigma - the main theme, the "suspense" theme, and a secondary theme which is a close cousin to the main theme.

	Enigma Film Review - Time Out Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The cracking of the German Enigma machine and the diversity and oddity of the personnel involved should have provided for a fascinating and relevant story.
		Regrettably, Apted's film, from Robert Harris' romantic thriller, gets caught between the demands of crowd-thrilling adventure and psychologically compelling history, and satisfies neither.
		However, his late conversion to all-action hero strips the film of credibility.
